Detex ECL-2109 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which Detex exit control locks does the ECL-2109 paddle bar plate fit?
The ECL-2109 is the long paddle bar plate for Detex ECL-230D-PH and ECL-600 Series exit control locks. It is the three-hole pattern, which is what the longer bar styles use, so match the hole count on the bar you are pulling the old plate off before you order. If your device takes a shorter bar with a different hole pattern, this is not the plate for it.
2) Is the Detex ECL-2109 a whole exit device or just the signage plate?
Just the plate. The ECL-2109 is the metal paddle bar plate that carries the "EMERGENCY EXIT ONLY - ALARM WILL SOUND - PUSH HERE" message in red English lettering. It mounts to the paddle bar of an ECL-230D-PH or ECL-600 exit control lock you already have on the door. It has no latching, no alarm, no rods. If the door has no device on it yet, you need a full exit device, not this plate.
3) Will a Detex ECL-2109 paddle bar plate work on a Von Duprin 8827 or a Marks M9900VR exit device?
No. The ECL-2109 is a long paddle bar plate carrying photo-luminescent EMERGENCY EXIT ONLY - ALARM WILL SOUND - PUSH HERE signage, and it is built for Detex ECL-230D-PH and ECL-600 exit control locks. It mounts to those Detex paddle bars with a three-hole pattern and does not transfer to another maker's touchbar. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a wide stile surface vertical rod exit device in the 88 Series, and the Marks USA M9900VR is a 36 inch by 84 inch vertical rod panic device - both are complete devices with their own touchbars, so signage for them comes from their own parts. Match the plate to the Detex ECL series it was made for.
4) The exit control lock itself is worn out, not just the signage - what vertical rod exit device do I put on the opening instead?
When the device is finished rather than the label, you are buying a complete vertical rod device, not a paddle bar plate like the ECL-2109. On a 36 by 84 opening, the Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device from the 88 Series, the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device in the ED-500 Series for a 36 inch door in exit only function, and the Marks USA M9900VR is a 36 by 84 exit only vertical rod panic device, non-handed. Delaney's 9100 Series device, DLY-692301, is a Grade 1 heavy duty vertical rod type device for a 36 by 84 door in stainless steel finish.
5) My opening is a labeled fire door - can I use the ECL-2109 plate, or do I need different hardware?
The ECL-2109 is a replacement paddle bar plate with photo-luminescent emergency signage for Detex ECL-230D-PH and ECL-600 exit control locks; the fire rating on the opening is decided by the device and the door assembly, not by the signage plate. If the opening needs a fire rated vertical rod device, the Marks USA M9900FVR at 36 by 84 is fire rated and exit only, the same M9900F device is offered at 48 by 84 as MARM9900F-VR, also fire rated and exit only, and the Delaney F9100 Series DLY-694300 is a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty vertical rod device for a 36 by 84 door in aluminum finish. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT and Imperial ED-VR531 are both listed with a fire rating of no.
6) Our exit door signage has faded and the letters are hard to read. Can we replace just the sign?
That's exactly what the ECL-2109 is for. Rather than replacing the whole exit control lock, you swap the paddle bar plate and get fresh red lettering back on the bar. It's a common maintenance item for property managers running a lot of ECL-230D-PH or ECL-600 doors, and it keeps the factory Detex appearance across the openings.
7) Does the ECL-2109 exit sign plate stay readable when the power goes out?
The lettering is photo-luminescent, so it charges off the ambient light in the space and glows in the dark. In a power outage or a smoke-darkened corridor the "EMERGENCY EXIT ONLY - ALARM WILL SOUND - PUSH HERE" message stays visible without any wiring, battery, or connection to the building's emergency power. Nothing to energize and nothing to maintain beyond keeping the plate clean and lit during normal hours.
8) The exit control lock on our door is beyond repair. What do we buy instead of just the sign plate?
If the device itself is shot, a replacement plate won't help; you need a full exit device. For a pair or a single leaf latching top and bottom, ZenSupply carries surface vertical rod devices such as the Von Duprin 8827-3FT (Grade 1, wide stile, for 1-3/4 inch doors), the Imperial USA ED-VR531 (Grade 1, wide stile, exit only, 36 inch), and the Marks USA M9900VR in 36 x 84 and 48 x 84. If the opening is in a fire-rated wall, look at the fire-rated versions: the Marks USA M9900FVR 36 x 84 or the Delaney F9100 Series.
9) Is the ECL-2109 handed, or does one plate work on left and right hand doors?
There is one part number, ECL-2109, and one configuration. The plate carries the printed message and the three mounting holes for the long paddle bar, so it isn't a handed part the way a lock chassis is. What you match is the bar length and hole pattern on your ECL-230D-PH or ECL-600, not the swing of the door.
10) What is the difference between ordering the ECL-2109 and ordering a Cal-Royal 9860?
They are different classes of purchase. The ECL-2109 is a metal replacement paddle bar plate carrying the EMERGENCY EXIT ONLY - ALARM WILL SOUND - PUSH HERE photo-luminescent message for Detex ECL-230D-PH and ECL-600 exit control locks, so it restores signage on hardware already hanging on the door. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a complete surface vertical rod exit device, heavy duty, Grade 2, exit only function, with ADA compliance in its description. Buy the ECL-2109 when the Detex device stays and only the lettering is worn; buy a full device such as the 9860 when the opening is getting new exit hardware.
11) I need a vertical rod device for a 48 inch wide leaf, not a 36 inch one - what are the options?
Most vertical rod devices in this class are catalogued by door size. For a 48 by 84 leaf, the Marks USA M9900VR-48X84 is a 48 by 84 exit only vertical rod panic device, and the Marks USA MARM9900F-VR is the M9900F at 48 by 84, fire rated and exit only. The 36 inch offerings - Von Duprin 8827-3FT in the 88 Series, Imperial USA ED-VR531 in the ED-500 Series, Delaney 8100 Series DLY-8100-3684, and Marks USA M9900VR - are sized for a 36 by 84 door. Confirm the leaf width before ordering, since the rod and rail length follow the door size.
12) Does the ECL-2109 plate need power or wiring?
No wiring. The plate is a mechanical part with photo-luminescent lettering, so there is nothing to connect and no electrical rough-in. The alarm function stays in the ECL-230D-PH or ECL-600 device itself; the plate only carries the message telling people the alarm will sound when they push.
13) We standardize hardware across a whole building. Can we stock one signage plate for all our Detex exit control doors?
Only for the long-bar openings. The ECL-2109 covers ECL-230D-PH and ECL-600 devices fitted with the long paddle bar, which is the three-hole plate. Doors in the same building running a shorter bar style take a different plate, so walk the openings and count the mounting holes before you set a stocking quantity.
14) What does the lettering on the Detex ECL-2109 plate actually say?
It reads "EMERGENCY EXIT ONLY - ALARM WILL SOUND - PUSH HERE" in red English lettering. That wording matters for a delayed egress or alarmed exit opening, because it tells the occupant both what the door is for and that pushing it will trigger the device. If your facility needs a different language or a different message, this plate is not it.
